STATUTE

      No person shall make a firearm unless he has (a) filed with the
    Secretary a written application, in duplicate, to make and register
    the firearm on the form prescribed by the Secretary; (b) paid any
    tax payable on the making and such payment is evidenced by the
    proper stamp affixed to the original application form; (c)
    identified the firearm to be made in the application form in such
    manner as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe; (d)
    identified himself in the application form in such manner as the
    Secretary may by regulations prescribe, except that, if such person
    is an individual, the identification must include his fingerprints
    and his photograph; and (e) obtained the approval of the Secretary
    to make and register the firearm and the application form shows
    such approval. Applications shall be denied if the making or
